The production of the zodiac depends on the prevalence of animal worship and totem worship and the use of the Ganzhi chronology, which complement each other and are indispensable. And the dragon in the zodiac, ** in the ancient era of the original belief in the dragon totem.

The 12 zodiac signs are also called the genus, and the 12 earthly branches match, the 12 animals named after the year of birth, the 12 zodiac signs are the image representatives of the 12 earthly branches. That is: the son (rat) and the ugly (cow).

寅 (tiger) mao (rabbit) chen (dragon) has (snake) noon (horse).

Wei (sheep) Shen (monkey) You (chicken) Shu (dog) Hai (pig).

There are 12 hours in total, 1 hour corresponds to 1 animal, and exactly 12 animals correspond to 12 hours.

Introduction:

Except for the son (rat), let's take a look at the oxen, rabbit, sheep, chicken, and pig in the twelve earthly branches, all of which are in a double number with one foot and four hooves, and the snake has two tongues on its tongue, which are also even numbers. In ancient times, the double number represented "yin".

The tiger, dragon, monkey and dog have one foot and five claws, which is a singular number, and the horse has undivided hooves and can only be counted as a singular number. In ancient times, the singular number represented "yang", and yin and yang were mutually restrained.

The reason why it is "rat" in the first place is because the front foot of the rat has four claws on one foot, and the back foot has five claws on one foot, which is a combination of yin to yang. What is particularly interesting is that at the time of the "rat", the last hour of the first day and the first hour of the second day are the junction time from yin to yang.

Some people may ask: why cats are not listed in the zodiac is because they have 5 claws on one foot on their front feet and 4 claws on their back feet. It is neither yin nor yang, and it cannot be at the junction of the transformation from yin to yang, so it is excluded from the zodiac.
